I got a 486 off eBay, and an SC-55
I set up a web page soft of as a joke, and a bunch of qbasic and batch scripts on the 486, combined with curl and a packet driver.

It lets you play MIDI files on the real hardware - haha.
The system is running DOS for this.
Been using all sorts of information on these forums, for driver information, found the Voyetra SAPI OPL3 midi driver for DOS here. So, I just registered!
So, I guess the question is, are there any OPL3 drivers for DOS that actually sound like the Windows 95/98 one? SAPI sounds VERY close.
Windows still used OPL back then, not the weird SC-55 soundfont and software synth.
Bristlehog posted that neat px program that can use WSS. Do I need a different .OPL file to make it sound like Windows besides FAT.OPL , does that even exist?
